/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.32' not found (required by build-O2/gcc/cobol1
The above error comes from ldd(1). I'm experimenting with what's minimally needed to install gcc when configured with --languages=cobol. Until this week, we always used --languages=c++,cobol. But, I said, why not just whatever C++ compiler and library happens to be on hand? Like the rest of gcc, our cobol1 compiler uses C++. The above message suggests to me that there's an assumption being made somewhere, that because the COBOL front end is being built, and uses C++, that the C++ library should be built and installed, too. 1. Is my understanding correct? 2. Is the dependency intentional, or can it be be defeated? >From my point of view, we need a reasonably modern libstdc++.so, but by no means do we need one that could be built in-tree. --jkl
